In a brand new Jumanji adventure, the tables are turned as four teenagers are sucked into Jumanji’s world – pitted against rhinos, black mambas and an endless variety of jungle traps and puzzles. To survive, they’ll play as characters from the game: meek Spencer becomes a stupid and girl-crazy jock (Dwayne Johnson); football jock Fridge becomes a tiny Einstein (Kevin Hart); It-girl Bethany becomes a bookworm professor (Jack Black); and nonathletic Martha becomes an amazonian warrior (Karen Gillan). To beat the game and return to the Planet Earth with their lives, they’ll have to start seeing things in an entirely different way.

Jumanji 2 Movie Will Release In December 2017 (Near Christmas Eve).

Jumanji will begin filming in Hawaii next month, with a scheduled release date of July 28, 2017. Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner (Zoo) wrote the most recent version of the script, based on an original draft by writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.

The actress joins a cast that already includes Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Nick Jonas and that promises to be a major player at the box office. Jumanji will be directed by Jake Kasdan (Bad Teacher, Freaks and Geeks). According to star Johnson: “For the record, we are not making a reboot, but rather a continuation of an awesome Jumanji story.”
